Sherburne County Sheriff:
Suspicious Fire
On 12/9/09 the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call
concerning a garage that was on fire in the 28000 block of 98 ½ St. in
Baldwin Township.
According to Sheriff Joel Brott deputies from the Sheriff’s Office were
dispatched to a garage that was on fire near Sandy Lake in Baldwin
Township. Upon arrival the deputy found the north wall of the garage fully
engulfed in flames as well as a motor vehicle that was on fire.
Three individuals, who resided at the residence, were able to get out of
the house unharmed. The Baldwin Fire Department responded and put the fire
out.
As a result of the fire, the garage was destroyed, as well as three motor
vehicles. There was also extensive damage to the interior walls of the
residence that separated the house from the garage.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Anyone with any
information is encouraged to contact the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office
or Tri-County Crime Stoppers.
St. Cloud Police: Theft of “Toys for Tots Funds”
(From Week of December 7, 2009)
The St. Cloud Police are investigating the theft of monetary donations
designated for the Toys for Tots Program.
The manager of Thrifty Motel and her staff had been collecting donations
for the Toys for Tots program in a clear plastic jar when it was stolen
between 2 and 3 p.m. Monday, December 7th.
An estimated $192 was stolen before the staff could reach its goal of
$200, and the theft was reported to police officers, who are reviewing
security tapes.
Marv Binstock, a representative of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
Program, was surprised and saddened to learn of the theft at the motel,
but he said theft from the program happens. Binstock said $200 would have
provided toys for about 10 children, ranging from infants to teens; the
Toys for Tots Program spends about $10 on a toy, with each child receiving
two toys.
